The controversial draft pick that the U.S. national team fans were looking forward to did not come this time.

The head coach of the U.S. men’s national football team, Greg Berhalt, revealed on Thursday the list of 23 people for the 2021 Gold Cup. He said he could win the national team’s regional championship. This American team of 19 MLS players will conduct its first training on July 6th, and the first Gold Cup match will be held on July 11.

“We don’t want to think of it as an experimental team,” Berhalt told the media on a conference call. “We want to see this team as a team that can win the Gold Cup. Let us really know this. This will be our expectation. Will it be difficult? Of course. But we believe that this team has enough The backbone and veteran leadership ran and won the Gold Cup.”

Defender (8): George Bello (Atlanta United), Reggie Cannon (Boavista/Portugal), Shaq Moore (Tenerife/Spain), Donovan Pines (Washington United) , Miles Robinson (Atlanta United), James Sands (New York City Football Club), Sam Waynes (Colorado Rapids), Walker Zimmerman (Nashville, South Carolina)

Five players can make their USMNT debut during the Gold Cup: Busio, Hoppe, Pines, Sands and Williamson. This is also the first solicitation of Busio and Sands in the United States.

Who made the US list?

Miles Robinson with Walker Zimmerman Came in as a starting central defender, but Berhalt admitted that the depth of the central defender on the roster is very thin due to lack of international bench experience. Donovan Pine with James Sands. Atlanta George Bello And Colorado Sam Waynes Will compete for the left back position.

In midfield, Berhalt pointed Karin Acosta Jackson Uyle, Eric Williamson And newcomers Gianluca Busio Competing for three midfield positions, and considering their ability to move and swap positions in the game, how this will become “the strength of this team.” He emphasized Busio’s recent performance in the Kansas City Athletic team and “how he has a significant impact on us”.

But Berhalt also said the team has a depth problem with wingers.He pointed out Matthew Hope with Jonathan Lewis Plan to become a left winger and Paul Arriola with Nicholas Giacini Can play right wing, but two of them can be said to be centers (Hoppe and Gioacchini).

Together with other national league holders Acosta, Uyel and Cannon, Berhalt praised Sebastian Ledger “How important they are to this team. Without these four players, I can’t imagine our current roster.”

The American men will start in the Gold Cup group stage, facing Canada, Martinique and a team that will qualify for the preliminaries. All three Group B matches will be held at the Children’s Charity Park in Kansas City. USMNT will win its seventh championship in the finals lost to Mexico in 2019, and its first championship since 2017.

Who is excluded from the US list?

Berhalt made it clear that he called up players who are in good condition and the club is in a stable condition.

Johnny Cardoso, Eric Palmer-Brown, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Matt Miazga with Brian Reynolds Considering that they need to perform and impress their European club teams during the preseason, they were not taken into consideration.This is not the case Reggie Cannon, Who plays in Boavista. He is expected to be transferred this summer, which allows him to play.

Right back Aaron Herrera, Kyle Duncan with Julian Araujo Watching outside. In Araujo’s case, Berhalter revealed that given his dual citizenship status, he is not yet ready to join the US national team and is still likely to play for Mexico. Appearing in official games like the Golden Cup will link him to USMNT.

Berhalt said: “This is an example. He is a dual citizen and is not fully ready to contribute to the team.” “He knows that the Gold Cup will lock him permanently, but he is not ready to take this step yet. I don’t want to speak for him, but I think when he looks at the depth of the right-back position, he will see a deadlock there. And he may not have fully seen his path to becoming a starter in the next World Cup. What I can tell you is that we really value Julian and we think he is an outstanding player. We think he can be the starter of this team.”

Fitness is a problem for Dallas FC midfielders Paxton Pomicar, And his club teammates Jesus Ferreira with Ricardo Pepi “It’s on the cusp, but it’s not enough to show that they need to be involved.”

Appendectomy ruled out the New York Red Bulls phenomenon Carden Clark From consideration. Berhalt said he “really looks forward to working with him” and will continue to pay attention to him as he plans to move to the Bundesliga team Leipzig Red Bull.

Orlando City Right Wing Chris Muller Is considering the depth to help the position, but Berhalt said he ultimately chose another option.

Berhalt can still change players who appear on the roster due to injuries 24 hours before the team’s first game in the group stage. Substitute players must come from players originally on the preliminary list of 59 people (full list below).
